After 65 Years I discovered the ship that picked me out the water. On May 11, 1945 the LSM(R)-193 responded to the Kamikaze attack on the USS Hugh W. Hadley (DD-774). CO USS Hugh V. Hadley comments: The LSM 193 and the LCS 83 were responsible for recovering all personnel in the water. These two ships did a remarkable job in caring for the wounded, expediting the fighting of the fire, and later towing.
